(RTTNews.com) - Eastman Kodak Co. (EK) Wednesday said it filed a suit against Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., (SSNLF.PK), alleging infringement of five patents.

The complaint, filed in U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York, alleges that certain Samsung tablets infringe patented Kodak digital imaging technology.

The alleged infringements are of five patents: "Electronic Camera For Initiating Capture of Still Images While Previewing Motion Images", "Automatically Transmitting Images from an Electronic Camera to a Service Provider Using a Network Configuration File", "Network Configuration File for Automatically Transmitting Images from an Electronic Still Camera", "Capturing Digital Images to be Transferred to an E-Mail Address", and "Digital Camera with Communications Interface for Selectively Transmitting Images over a Cellular Phone Network and a Wireless LAN Network to a Destination".

On January 10, Eastman Kodak had filed patent infringement suits against Apple Inc. (AAPL) and HTC with the U.S. International Trade Commission and in the same New York District Court. The suits pertained to the last four of the patent complaints initiated now against Samsung.

In January 2010, Kodak had filed a complaint against Apple and Research In Motion Limited (RIM, RIM.TO) involving U.S. Patent No. 6,292,218, the first patent listed in the current suit against Samsung.

EK closed Wednesday's regular trade at $0.5547, up $0.0236 or 4.44%, on the NYSE. In the after-hours, the stock gained $0.0010 or 0.18%.
